Abe feels it, and I *think* that means he carries it, but he *is* good at moving on… so what is it? where is it hiding, and how can we let it move out and on? — reframe: *waiting* to get value out of something you *carried* forward into the future like Abe keeping all the furniture from denver *until he was ready* to work with it am I doing that? with my sister? yeah, totally. I did the minimum-attachment thing, like Abe paying denver storage fees (imagine that I was traumatized by keeping the furniture - that would have been grating on me like the $1k/mo has been on Abe) and now I’m *ready* to get value from what I carried forward, like Abe’s ready to get value from his Denver stuff? it’s all under our roof at once --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://www.isaacbowen.com/2026/02/02/searching.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
